Author Message   Mesozoic Posted on Wednesday, October 19, 2011 - 02:33 am:        I'm running an HID in my high beam and debating whether I should upgrade the low beam to HID as well. I wasn't sure how the HID was going to perform, so I left the low beam on halogen. Considering bike safety and durability of these lamps, what do you think? If I do the upgrade, I'm going to trigger the low beam relay with the high beam via a diode to make sure that both lamps are on when switched to high.   Terrys1980 Posted on Thursday, October 20, 2011 - 09:12 am:        The answer you will probably get from most will be no because the housing does not properly disperse the light and it "blinds" other drivers. I say the more light the better. HID should be used with a projector lens housing like on the XBR. There are a couple write-ups on how to have both on with high beam. It involves swapping the white and yellow wires on the headlamp wiring harness connector by the steering neck.   Froggy Posted on Thursday, October 20, 2011 - 11:29 am:        You really won't need the highbeam after putting HID in the low. I recommend you just swap the bulbs and see how you like it before going nuts with the unneeded relays and diodes.
